Toure was a complete midfielder, and his stats and trophy haul during his time in England make it very hard to argue against him being a deserving winner.
In his eight years at City, the Ivorian scored 79 goals and provided 50 assists in 316 appearances. He also won three Premier League trophies, the FA Cup, two League Cups and the Community Shield whilst at the Etihad Stadium.
While Toure can be overlooked by some pundits, he will never be forgotten by City fans, who witnessed a quite remarkable player in his prime years.
